McConnell warns Democrats against ‘artificial timeline’ for infrastructure deal
| Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sent a warning shot on Monday over the bipartisan infrastructure deal, saying that Democrats shouldn’t create an “artificial timeline” and that Republicans want to offer potential changes.
McConnell, speaking from the Senate floor, called the roughly $1 trillion bipartisan deal a “good and important jumping off point” but that it shouldn’t be the Senate’s “last word.” “[It] needs to be a robust and bipartisan process out here on the floor,” he said. “Senators on both sides expect and deserve opportunities to have a say and put their own state’s imprints on this major bill,” he added. |
